OT The Pope and the President

The Pope is visiting Washington, D.C., and President Bush takes him
out for an afternoon on the Potomac, cruising on the Presidential
yacht, the Sequoia. They're admiring the sights when, all of a sudden,
the Pope's hat (zucchetto) blows off his head and out into the water.


Secret Service guys start to launch a boat, but President Bush waves
them off, saying, "Wait, wait. I'll take care of this. Don't worry."


Bush then steps off the yacht onto the surface of the water and walks
out to the Holy Father's little hat, bends over, picks it up, and then
walks back to the yacht and climbs aboard. He hands the hat to the
Pope amid stunned silence.


The next morning, the headlines in the New York Times, Boston Globe,
Atlanta Constitution, Washington Post, Boston Herald, Buffalo News,
Houston Chronicle, Milwaukee Sentinel-Journal, Minneapolis Tribune,
Denver Post, Albuquerque Journal, Los Angeles Times, and San Francisco
Chronicle all proclaim:



"Bush Can't Swim!"

I have already passed it along to some of my friends.

No, the headline was:

Bush and Pope die of ebola infection


I went to Colonial Beach last weekend.

Interesting. Muddy water and sand. Right at the top of the northern
neck. Mouth of the Puhtoemuck.
